On the Impact of Bursting on TCP Performance

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Periodically in the transport protocol research community, the idea of introducing a burst mitigation strategy is voiced. This paper assess the prevalence and implications of bursts in the context of real TCP traffic in order to better inform a decision on whether TCP's congestion control algorithms need to incorporate some form of burst suppression. After analyzing traffic from three networks, it was found that bursts are fairly rare and only large bursts (of hundreds of segments) cause loss in practice.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

The problems of packet loss, delay and jitter are exacerbated when voice traffic intermingles with packets from other applications. Transmission control protocol (TCP) arranges them in the right order.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
